Source-derived summary

The Curiche Grande River (also known in English as the Corixa Grande River; in Brazil it is called Corixa Grande, and in Bolivia Curiche Grande) is a river of Mato Grosso state in western Brazil. It forms a portion of the international border between Brazil and Bolivia.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Curiche Grande River” is river in Brazil. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Curiche, Grande and River, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 47-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Curiche, Grande and River is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “river in Brazil” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 17, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q5194741. Authority coordinates are -17.725, -57.714. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
